Challenge Yourself

 

This is the current challenge at Challenge YOUrself.

I've had this photo of myself since I first stepped on the cruise ship. I walked to the front of the ship and had a Titanic moment! With both hands out in the air and facing the ocean I felt free and happy. (Couldn't believe I was actually there)

I used a chipboard chicken wire square and painted with dark blue and an ochre yellow colour through the same frame. Then I matted my photo and adhered the frame on top of my blue paper.I used 2 tags either side in a pale blue and pink. I also inked around the paper in brighter pink. I added trims on the mat using a border strip in pale orange and ribbon in a darker orange. The spotted card with my title also had 2 different coloured orange dots. That covers all the colours in the palette.

Just for fun, I added a chipboard flower with a dark blue painted flower on top. It was Spring when I went on my cruise so I can justify a flower. It also matches my top. Then I painted wave crests to make the blue look like the ocean.

Everything is straight on here. I had to photograph it outside as the layers are too thick to scan.
